Chapter 262 I will show you my eight-pack abs then.

On the first day, the box office of The Monkey King: Hero is Back was only 18 million.

The reason why the box office was so low was that the movies released at the same time included Gardenia Blossoms, Tiny Times 4, and Pancake Man. These movies were star-studded and naturally had their own traffic. In addition, the producers were very rich, so they did a lot of homework on publicity and promotion.

Under this premise, the first-day screening volume of The Monkey King: Hero is Back was only 9%. Even if every show was full, the box office would not be too high.

But Xu Ye was not in a hurry. He knew very well that this Chinese animation movie, with its excellent reputation and word of mouth from the audience, would not drop but rise in the next period of time, and the total box office almost exceeded 1 billion!

After watching the movie, Xu Ye sent Chen Qingqing and her family back to Hongye Villa. Xu Ye was about to turn around and go back to his home, but was kept by Jiang Meilin.

After Xu Ye walked into the living room and sat down, he called Zhang Xinzhou and asked him to pay close attention to the box office trend of The Monkey King: Hero is Back.

Zhang Xinzhou said with a smile: "Even if you didn't call me, I would definitely pay attention to it. The company only has this one project now, how can I not pay attention to it?"

Xu Ye thought about it and it was true. The people in the company must be more anxious than himself. After all, they didn't know the final box office performance of this movie.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ye put his phone back in his pocket. Chen Hansong sat next to him pretending to look at his phone. Jiang Meilin went into the kitchen and didn't know what she was busy with. Chen Qingqing took Wang Yuxin upstairs and didn't know what she was going to give her.

Seeing this, Xu Ye got up and walked to the kitchen door to take a look.

Seeing Jiang Meilin cutting fruit, Xu Ye walked up and asked, "Auntie, do you need help?"

A sudden voice behind her startled Jiang Meilin. After she reacted, she smiled and said, "No, it will be ready soon...Xiao Xu, come and try this Hami melon to see if it is sweet."

"Okay~"

Xu Ye took a skewer, poked a piece of Hami melon, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a few times, and commented, "It's not sweet, and it's a bit crispy."

"Yeah, the one I bought last time wasn't very sweet either. I have to buy it from another fruit store next time."

"When buying Hami melon, you have to look at the texture on its surface. If the texture is denser and rougher, it means that the Hami melon is more mature. Auntie, I am now a professional in picking fruits. Next time I will bring a Hami melon over, and it will be sweet."

Jiang Meilin smiled and said, "Go see what they are doing upstairs and call them down."

"Okay."

Xu Ye went upstairs quickly.

Jiang Meilin walked to the living room with a fruit plate and saw Chen Hansong sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and looking at his phone. Thinking of what Xu Ye had just said, she immediately disliked Chen Hansong even more.

"Put your feet down!"

"If you have nothing to do, don't stay here all day."

"I'm annoyed when I see you now!"

Chen Hansong immediately put his legs down obediently, and didn't dare to look at his phone anymore. He sat on the sofa honestly and didn't dare to fart.

Upstairs, Chen Qingqing was introducing some cosmetics she was using to Wang Yuxin.

She also gave Wang Yuxin a bottle of facial cleanser she was using.

Xu Ye saw Wang Yuxin sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at a pile of cosmetics with shining eyes, so he immediately walked up to her and grabbed her ear, saying, "You are not even a little kid, and you still want to learn makeup. Get up now."

"I'm just curious."

Chen Qingqing slapped Xu Ye's hand away and scolded, "Just talk nicely, don't always use your hands."

Xu Ye said speechlessly, "I didn't use any force."

"He only knows how to bully me!" Wang Yuxin bent down angrily, hit Xu Ye's stomach with her head like a monk in a temple ringing a bell, and then ran out quickly.

Xu Ye rubbed his belly and held Chen Qingqing's hand: "Your mother cut some fruit and asked me to call you down to eat."

Chen Qingqing pulled her hand back and pouted: "We're at home."

"What's there to be afraid of holding hands? Your mother saw us kissing last time."

"How dare you say that!"

"By the way, when are you going to teach me how to swim?"

"I won't teach you anymore."

"How can you go back on your word?"

"I don't care."

"Next weekend, I'll bring my swimming trunks over next weekend and show you my eight-pack abs then."

Chen Qingqing's eyes widened, and she immediately pushed Xu Ye away with her hand. She blushed and said, "I won't watch it!"

...

A few days later.

The Chinese animation film "Journey to the West: Hero is Back" has been increasingly discussed online.

Originally, Lu Cheng thought that this investment would lose money, but on the 11th and 12th, the box office of this movie actually rose against the trend. The box office on the second day was close to 30 million, and on the third day it exceeded 40 million. What's most anticipated is that the Douban score of this movie is as high as 8.8 points.

Such a good market response also made major theaters take the initiative to increase the number of screenings for this movie.

As of July 15, the box office of "Journey to the West: Hero is Back" has exceeded 200 million.

In just five days.

The box office has been rising all the way.

According to Lv Cheng, as long as the box office exceeds 150 million, the project will make money.

So when the employees of Qingye Investment learned that the box office exceeded 200 million, everyone seemed very excited, especially Lv Cheng who was in charge of the project, because according to his speculation, if the movie continues to be released for a month according to the current rules, the box office can conservatively reach 600 million.

If the total box office is 600 million, then this project will have a 400% return on investment.

Five million, in two months, it will become 20 million!

Oh my goodness.

When the movie box office was rising, the internet celebrities on Bilibili also shot their videos one after another.

After the videos were shot, before uploading, each of them sent the videos to Xu Ye privately.

After Xu Ye appreciated them one by one, he called Pei Youwei over and prepared to let her watch it again. Wang Yuxin next to him also wanted to come over to take a look, but Xu Ye gave her a fierce look directly. Wang Yuxin pouted and took the initiative to walk aside.

Pei Youwei sat down next to Xu Ye and began to watch the videos shot by these internet celebrities.

These videos can be roughly divided into two types.

One is dancing directly in a swimsuit of the Yuwei brand.

The other is the kind of unboxing planting grass.

After watching it at double speed, Pei Youwei asked, "Does this really work?"

"Of course it works."

Xu Ye said confidently, "Don't doubt the ability of these Internet celebrities to bring goods."

Pei Youwei smiled and changed the subject and asked, "I'm curious, do you guys really like to watch this kind of video?"

Xu Ye asked, "Have you ever heard a quote from James Madison?"

"What?"

"Only hypocrites and homosexuals hate plump breasts."
